Any VP candidate who isn’t thinking about running for president one day is probably less trustworthy than one who is — in part because they are probably thinking even darker thoughts. Two words, people: DICK CHENEY.
Am curious — would you therefore call Joe Biden “less trustworthy”? Every indication from Obama camp when he was hired was that Biden (who is 65 and in eight-years time would be 73, even older than McCain is now) has no further presidential ambitions — as David Wilhelm told me:
“For Joe, that was his last race, and if it worked out, great — if not, he still had this great future as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee,” says David Wilhelm, a close adviser to Biden who ran the Delaware Senator’s Iowa campaign in 1988 and who endorsed Obama early in the campaign. “He was really at peace throughout the whole process.”
